Holistic Treatments

Lymphatic massage is a very gentle treatment that stimulates the lymphatic fluid to flow freely and carry waste out of our bodies. Like an internal river, it bathes and cleanses every cell and tissue of harmful toxins that can stagnate and cause disease. A healthy body depends on a healthy lymphatic system.

Our Lymphatic system does not have a pump like our heart that pumps the blood around our body. It is dependent on our breath and lymphatic massage to stimulate it. When it becomes congested we become sluggish and open to disease. It is especially good to have a lymphatic massage if you are detoxing, recovering after an illness after physical injury, surgery or have inflammation or part of your healthy lifestyle.
